Summary of the contracting process

BlueLight Commercial Limited procured a national e-commercial system for police, fire and rescue services and other participating public sector organisations. The system supports commercial pipeline management, procurement activity and contract management, including the allocation of user licences to participating organisations. It covers software and information systems, together with associated IT consulting, software development, internet and support services. The intended user community includes police forces and fire and rescue services across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, with wider access for eligible BlueLight Commercial members and public sector bodies. Delivery is UK-wide. This is a managed public-sector technology service suited to suppliers providing procurement and contract-management platforms, implementation, technical support and related software services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. It used a competitive flexible procedure under an open procurement, with one lot and a framework arrangement. ATAMIS LTD was awarded the contract on 19 February 2026 after one valid bid. The award value was £8,651,920 excluding VAT and £10,382,304 including VAT. The signed contract is valued at £8,693,795 excluding VAT and £10,432,554 including VAT. It was signed on 4 March 2026 and runs from 4 March 2026 to 3 March 2030, with an option to extend to 3 March 2034. Evaluation comprised technical questions, social value, price and a scored demonstration, with the three highest Stage 1 bidders progressing to Stage 2. The lot was suitable for SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from a large, geographically distributed public-sector user base for a national e-commercial platform. Suppliers competing for comparable work should be able to provide robust procurement pipeline, tendering and contract-management functionality, supported by reliable implementation, contract management, technical support and cyber capability. Credible operators will need to demonstrate dependable system availability, effective issue handling and delivery against agreed milestones. The evaluation also shows that technical quality, implementation, contract management and support, IT technical capability, cyber, social value, price and practical scenario demonstrations matter. A supplier with experience serving police, fire, government or similarly complex multi-organisation environments would be well placed, particularly where its platform can scale across different public bodies and support controlled user licensing.
